the preceding. Hard to distinguish from A. cerulea by any mere descrip- 
tion, as they exhibit, transitions at all points. The following appear to me 
to be the chief differences: flower, at least in Southern specimens, always 
golden yellow; sepals and petals nearly the same length, 1’; inflorescence 
paniculate, and continuing until terminated by cold weather. Common in 
damp ground and ravines of the mountain streams in the White Mountains 
and Mount Graham of Arizona. It is certainly no exaggeration to say 
that I have, near the Willow Springs, seen ten acres so completely covered 
with this plant in full bloom, that everything else was lost sight of. Ari- 
zona, at 7,000 to 10,200 feet altitude. (196.) 
DELPHINIUM scopuLORUM, Gray (Pl. Wright. 2, p. 9).—24° high, pu- 
berulent throughout; lower leaves with petiole 4-6’, becoming shorter 
above; leaves round in outline, 3-5-parted, each division narrowly cune- 
ate, again variously cut-lobed and toothed ; raceme slender, one foot long; 
pedicels hairy, twice as long as the bract at base, one or two bractlets 
usually immediately below flower; spur over half an inch long, thickish, 
hairy, slightly curved, with markedly thickened extremity and one-half 
_ longer than the puberulent sepals; lower petals nearly as long as the 
sepals, slightly hairy within, upper one with a somewhat shorter blade, its 
spur nearly as long as that of the sepal; carpels 3, smoothish. Flowers 
are scattered loosely along the stem at intervals (when developed) of 
an inch. <A species as variable as it is elegant. Tanks south of Camp 
Apache, Ariz. (263.) Altitude, 5,625 feet. 
Devpuinium Menziesu, DC.—Nevada; Snake River, Colorado. Dr. 
Vasey informs me that the jlant (No. 96) which I published in the list of 
Colorado plants in 1874 as D. elatum, L., var., he has found, on comparison 
with the specimens in the Department of Agriculture Herbarium, to be D. 
Menziesii. 
DeELPHINIUM ELATUM, L., var. ? occIDENTALIS, Watson.—Plant taller (5°) 
and more vigorous in every way than the others; leaves three-lobed, 
with each lateral lobe again divided, and all the lobes variously gashed 
and cut-toothed. The ample foliage, the long, hooked spur, acute sepals, the 
distinct spur on the lower petals, so far as they go, make the limits of this 
species in my collection tolerably well defined. Utah.
